TBH, it doesn't look "easy" at all. Plus, why re-inventing the wheel and create yet another containerization system?

The project is running at least since 2017. Maybe it was less « yet another containerization system » at that time?

If everything is a container, does that mean processes have failed?

Not really, for shared ressources, it was not that long before realizing that isolation was necessary for memory, storage has been has been managed via fs with rights since sharing files between processes is handy, shared networking as been a problem from day 1 (port numbers assignation).

Container just homogenise the paradygm for all resources: strict isolation by default, else explicit sharing.

Yet the design of the website reminds me of the 90's
